Cabot Award to the NASA Mars Helicopter Ingenuity Team in Boston, MA on June 24, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ingenuity Team will be honored with the prestigious\nCabot Award in recognition of their history making flight of April 19, 2021,\nwhen Ingenuity became the first aircraft in history to make a powered,\ncontrolled flight on another planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mars Helicopter\/Ingenuity Team will accept the Award at\na luncheon on Friday, June 24th, at the Harvard Club in Boston, MA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flight at Mars is challenging because the Red Planet has\na significant lower gravity \u2014 one third that of Earth\u2019s, and an extremely thin\natmosphere with only 1% the density at the surface as compared to our planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rotorcraft\u2019s flights are autonomous, piloted by on board\nguidance, navigation, and control algorithms developed by NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion\nLaboratory at the California Institute of Technology. Because data must be sent\nto and returned from the Red Planet over millions of miles using orbiting\nsatellites, and NASA\u2019s Deep Space Network, Ingenuity is not flown with a\njoystick, and flights are not observable from Earth in real time. To operate at\nMars, the rotorcraft requires the Perseverance rover to assist in\ncommunications back and forth from Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter experiment has embarked on a\nnew operations demonstration phase, performing reconnaissance to aid the\nPerseverance rover, and exploring how aerial vehicles can benefit future\nexploration of Mars and other worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cabot Award, named to commemorate Dr. Godfrey L. Cabot\n(now deceased), is presented annually by ACONE to an individual or team who has\nmade unique and unparalleled contributions to encourage and advance aviation\nand space flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previous recipients include Igor Sikorsky, Gen. Curtis\nLeMay, Gen. James Doolittle, Space Ship One Team, Col. Eileen Collins, Harrison\nFord, astronauts and notable others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Aero Club of New England (ACONE), the first aero club in\nthe Americas, was organized in Boston on January 20, 1902, nearly two full\nyears prior to the first flight of the Wright brothers on December 17, 1903, at\nKill Devil Hill, North Carolina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Aero Club of New England (ACONE) will present the 2022 Godfrey L.
